About

This comparison is ultimately my point of view. The wiki can be edited by registered users - please ask for invitation. It aims to be objective through being independent, open to input, and open to new editors. In fact, the original information, and idea which inspired this, are thanks to Mark Russinovich TechEd 2004 - Session: Mark Russinovich 'Linux and Windows Kernel Comparison' '. This project currently goes without funding, simply relying on any spare time we get. Please help support this project. Special thanks goes to the excellent pbworks.com for hosting.
